Opinion on new wheels for my 06 SS
What do you think of these? It wouldn't be something that I would do until the summer, but I've been throwing around the idea of aftermarket wheels and so far these are my favorite. Thanks for the input!

They are Elbrus I04, 18x8. It does not list the offset, weight, or backspacing. I should probably e-mail to find out more detailed information. I found them on TireRack. Damn good price. The strange thing is that the recommended tire size they listed is 235/50/18, but yet on the stock 18x7 the tires are 235/50/18. That doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't the extra inch of width on the wheel demand a wider tire? Hm... Perhaps some one can give me some insight.

I kind of feel the same way. I mean I do not mind the SS wheels, but they really are not my style. I can deal with them, but I would prefer somethingdifferent. I think if I got these wheels I would sell the stock SS wheels or at least consider it since I would be getting an all-season tire and the stock Goodyear RS-A's kind of suck. I can't believe how expenive they are.

But I like Elbrus, they seem to be a good new brand, and fairly priced. I almost bought a set for my 98.

I lowered my Stratus. I will tell ya... I am done with that. It rode awful. One reason I bought a new car was to get a better ride and I will not be screwing it up on the Monte. I do not think the wheel gap is that significant to have to lower it. I know it will make it look better, but I do not want to jeopardize the ride quality at all.
